After dinner we decided to take a little stroll .
As we were silently walking down the alley I tried to start a conversation but somehow couldn't find the words after hearing about his mother .
" Today was really fun and I had an amazing day thanks to you " said Felix .
I blushed at his words .
" It was nothing but because of me you had to skip your classes today " I said while looking at his face .
" There's no way I would ever regret spending time with you " said Felix .
" Can I ask a question from you if you don't mind " I asked .
" Yeah sure " replied Felix .
" Can you tell me a bit more about your mother " I asked cautiously .
" My mother? " asked Felix as smile suddenly disappeared from his face .
" But if you don't want to talk about it that's also fine with me " I said in a muffled tone with my face downward .
" As far as I remember she was very beautiful and caring women . She had a beautiful smile and eyes that would always look at me with affection . She was the woman who made that large building a house , a warm place where we used to find comfort " said Felix while looking at the road ahead .
I looked at his eyes and they were empty as if he has nothing in his life that could fill that void except her .
I held his hand tightly and interlocked my fingers with his .
" She must have been an amazing mother to have raised a son like you " I said while trying to lessen his pain .
" I'm not a good person Sophia " he said in a low voice .
" You are one of the amazing man I have ever met " I replied while staring at his. Beautiful eyes .
It seemed that the more I will look at those beautiful eyes the more deeper I will fall .
" Mia was only eight that time and she couldn't get the warmth and love of mom and neither dad and I could give her that kind of love and our home has been empty and cold since then " said Felix .
I reached out and gently hugged him .
" Oh, Felix, I'm so sorry " i said softly.
" I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you and Mia to lose your mother at such a young age. It's clear that her absence has left a deep ache in your heart " I said as I looked up toward his face .
Felix's eyes welled up with small tears , and he was trying hard to control them .
" You and Mia deserved so much more " I continued .
" A warm and loving home , filled with laughter and memories . But even though your mother isn't here physically , her love and legacy live on through you both " I said while trying my best to sooth his pain a little bit .
" Thank you , Sophia " he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.
" Just talking to you makes me feel a little better " said Felix while hugging me back .
After few seconds we let go of each other and start walking again .
" Ok enough about me , we should talk about you , now " said Felix with a faint smile .
" What do you wanna ask " I asked shortly .
" Tell me about your family " he asked .
I hesitated a bit .
" I have two younger faternal twin brothers and my mom and dad and we just live in a average but comfy countryside house , living our best life I guess " I replied hesitatingly .
" And what do you mean by average and comfy house " he asked while looking at me confusingly .
I laughed at his question .
" Well , it means it's not a small house and at the same time not that big but it's cozy with everything that I want " I replied .
" Oh ok " said Felix in a response to my answer .
" So how's your brother's like " he asked .
" Oh , don't get me started , they are a headache to me , they would always look for ways to tease me and make me lose my control " I replied .
Felix laughed at my answer . It made me happy to see him laughing .
I wonder when did I get so close to him and how I always feel at ease around him . It's as if I can trust this person . I feel my insecurities fade away .
As my eyes fall upon his lips I realized that it was my first kiss with Felix when he suddenly kissed me out of nowhere and I got so startled that I thought that I didn't held onto him that time I might lose him .
As Felix noticed my gaze toward him he suddenly leaned in and said " Sophia are you listening to me "
" Oh I'm s-sorry , I was j-just thinking about something " I stuttered while taking a step back .
" I was saying that if you are free tomorrow after classes can you come over to my house for lunch " asked Felix .
" Your house " I asked with astonishment .
" yess , Mia would be happy to see you there and my dad also asked me to invite you home " replied Felix .
" Did you tell your dad about me " I asked .
" Don't worry i didn't tell him " said Felix while walking down the road .
I somehow got a disappointed after hearing his answer .
" So would you like to come to our house " he asked .
" I'd love to " I replied back shortly .
" Ok then I will pick you up tomorrow after classes " said Felix while leading me by hand toward an alley .
